CLAPA is calling for guaranteed lifelong NHS dental care for people born with cleft in the UK. But we cannot do it alone.

I so agree. I get sick of the British thinking themselves different & therefore better. Another advantage would be that we could make all our museums and galleries free on production of a British ID card and charge tourists to enter. Perhaps the same for public transport?

That would be a cruel and unusual punishment within the meaning of the Act. Beheading would be kinder.

2/2 Parents retiring, rates bill up 300% since Labour came in so son & daughter can't afford staff and can't run it just by themselves. This is what Labour are doing to small businesses.

1/2 Went into a small Shropshire tourist town's newsagents today for the Guardian. Notice saying they aren't selling newspapers after this Saturday. Asked about it. Turns out they're closing down completely.

I follow the Onion and also the Financial Times. It gets increasingly hard to distinguish between their headlines. Guess which one posted "Investors are frogs in a Trumpian pot"? (the latter but could have been either).

Why does it have to be Facebook? I avoid it like the plague.

Well I've spent the last hour reading up and voting in the Green Party elections. Very difficult when you don't know people. Decided if they had a Bluesky account that was a plus.

I don't think they are correct though it might be advantageous to tweek the timing of the pedestrian lights and put in a box junction at Arbury Road.

I'm afraid there's lots of miserygutses around Arbury Road who are convinced that the whole scheme is flawed. They complain particularly about the perceived delays caused by the lights on the Elizabeth Way roundabout and the backing up of the traffic towards the Arbury Road junction.

Well it's a start. It's a totally inadequate bill and I expect that at the end of its first five years we will find that hardly anyone has been able to take advantage of it. So it will all have to be revisited in the future. This country is so slow on social change.

Found a nice description of Trump in Dryden's Absalom and Achitophel -
Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong;
Was everything by starts, and nothing long;
But, in the course of one revolving moon,
Was chymist, fiddler, statesman, and buffoon.

Why are you telling them this? Do we want them to survive?

I have managed to block mentions of cats and dogs from my feed but cannot find a way to block pictures. How?

Let's hope the experiments are conducted somewhere other than Britain, somewhere poor and unable to say us nay, the USA say?

It is rumoured that the British government is to fund experiments to dim the light of the sun to reduce solar warming. Where does this leave those of us who have paid good money for solar panels on our properties?

Your pics would be better if they weren't always sideways on. Or is it a deliberate ploy?

Empathy! White South Africans of a certain sort of that generation were all like that. It's what apartheid was built on.

Now we know why Trump chose Vance as VP. While Vance is next in line no one will dare assassinate Trump.

What with the Government's reported refusal to encourage the deployment of more beavers and their allowing of more chickenshit in the rivers I'm a bit fed up. Might as well have the Tumours back.
